Fees & Judging

Judging Requirements

Teams are required to provide qualified judging to cover their entry (see chart below). The tournament will offer hired judging (calculated by the whole judge). Teams hiring judging for both the UH and Dobie tournament will not be charged twice.

Mutual judge preference will be used in CX & LD. Preferences will open on January 5th and will be due at 6 pm on January 7th. Tabroom.com will be used for all entry, pairings and balloting. All judges are required to have a tabroom.com account and all students should sign up for an account (to receive emails/texts with pairings and announcements).

Fees

For CX, LD and PF, entry fees for the UH tournament include fees for the Dobie tournament. I will remove Dobie fees manually from invoices for teams entered in both tournaments.
